USCXD IX 8 SENATORIAL SITUATION BECOMING STR No Change Recorded in Yesterday's Ballot but Things Are Shaping Around for the rinal ' Round-up and Wind Up 1 ' , . ,; - Caucus Between the Multnomah-Geer Forces Did Not Come to Pass But Former Held Caucus Last Night and. Are Believed to Have Come to a Definite Conclusion V TWENTY-FIRST BALLOT FULTON....,- HKKK WOOD W,U AM.S .. : WCATTERINO .... .............. AIWENT AND PAIRED.... TOTL As predicted there was not the dght est change In the Senatorial equation yesterday, but from appearances and from whit meagre information could be Kained, matters have arrived at such a staK th;tt 1t will be impossible to main tain the present equanimity very much longer and the long anticipated break and the subsequent disorder that it will precipitate, is likely to occur any day tnoiv and it is not altogether unlikely that it' will occur today. ' Although there was much talk of there being a conference and an under standing scheduled or looked forward to between the Multnomah and Geer forces and the scattered element last night, so far a s is known It did not take place, but. so far as that is concerned, it wts not necessary to transpire and an jjpreorneit could have been arrived at without4 a caucus but. if such is the case, the secret is being very Jealously gunrded and will not leak out, us mem bers of toth factions have- been closely questioned, but no "satisfactory results were obtained. ' The Multnomah delegation held a meeting and a secret caucus last even- lived at on the Senatorial question, it was kept a profound secret! It was rumorfd. howeverwhich lacks, confim ation th;it the Multnomah delegation is now 'ripe to propose the name, of Hon. H. W. Scott before the assembly, but. if true, whether it will come today or tomorrow is not known. The fleer force are still quite confi dent of success, while the Fulton fac tion is equally if not more so, and the source.. 'of the unbounded . encourage ment from all sides cannot be .discover ed, for" the closes, scrutiny and ques tioning fails to bear an v. fruit of satis faction. It may be saidj however, that theri is a .slight-, rupture among the Multnomah delegates, becasioned ' by the Tort of Portland Commission last night, but what proportions this slight eruption might assume cannot even be conjecture!. ' " Representative Hume, of Coos and Curry counties, who has long'been lHsed among the dark horses in the Senatorial brigade. will give a "smoker" to the solons at his "resi dent i " on Chemeketa street tonight wh-rt. it is thought, some new develop ments may come to li&rht. Whether Mr. Hume will come t light in the garb, of a candidate or throw aside all aspirations remains to be seen. It is also said that the Hon. Jonathan i.ourn, Jr., entered the caucus of the Fulton men In Senator Brownell's office vesterday afternoon and renmin bi several minutes, but exactly what Hgriiaeanee ;this has upon the situa tion can only be guessed at, for outside of the mystic circle. It is not known. SiiUtor Miller introduced a Senate Concurrent Resolution in the Senate yesterday afternoon,. asking that the St;ti Hoard of Education revise the state course of study for public schools $60,000 Per Day This is the average sum paid daily to policy-holders by The Mutual Life Insurance Com pany of New York.; Multiply that by a year and the wonder of. the amount disappears when you -learn how and where the largest accumulation of trust funds in the world is invested, as shown in "A Banker's Will."

The reso lution claims that the course of study requires too much work of the children and that so much non-essential work is required that essential branches are not and cannot be learned; that there are too many books in use. causing a. finan cial blirden to the people. The resolu tion was adopted, fully three-fourths of the Senators not knowing upon what they were voting. - Senator Croisan was almost success ful in getting his primary law bill out of the hands of the Judicial committee yesterday afternoon. He moved that it be reported today at 10:30 a. m. and it was carried. Senator KuykendalL, who is against the measure, discovered soon after what had been done and moved for a reconsideration and the motion carried- Senator roisans motion was then put and failed to carry. 10 to .12 against. ; When the House Bill to establish a Summer Normal School at Newport and appropriate $5000 for Its support, came up in the Senate quite a number of the Senators left the room so as not to be recorded on the matter, it seemed. A call of the Senate returned, all of them to their seats except tvm. The bill was then passed with five against. When 'House Bill No. 209. to place the State Superintendent on a flat salary of $3000 came up yesterday afternoon. Senator Miller made a strong effort to get the bill side-tracked by referring It to a special committee. His efforts were without resultts and the bill pass ed with four votes against it. . SENATE.
